Is Scipio Africanus a nigger?

@admin @verita84 @ChristiJunior During my hiatus from social media I did read The Rise of Rome from narrative historian Anthony Everritt and the Scipio arc was fire. Though I did know it already without a ton of detail from years past, this book did a great book in raising hype.
Romans were like min-maxed RPG characters. Only good at a handful of things; but very good:
>Carthage has the best navy
>"How good is our navy?"
>"Which navy?"
>inspect stranded Carthaginian boat on Italian coast
>start making own ships based on it
>enter this thing
Carthaginians: :pikachu:

@verita84 @ChristiJunior @Rasterman No he was actually born into one of the six patrician families of Rome. He took the name Africanus after defeating Hannibal and destroying the Carthaginian army on their soil.
